Bitcoin is for everybody but we must accept it before it can be ours.

Accept bitcoin before it can be yours.
People can decide something for their selfs whether good or bad, first of all we all have rights to do what so ever we want to do as long as it does not harm the next door neighbor but in my country the government has done what will harm the next door neighbor's.
On Bitcointalk I have seen topics that say Bitcoin is not for everyone maybe that thought is based on their own opinions, but I totally diagree with it, if I may ask who will see something good and reject it? No body, even if some people rejected it, it might be because of the laws from the higher authorities like government or military.
Bitcoin is for everybody, but we all have to accept it before it can be ours so I conclude that we must first accept bitcoin before we can have access to it and if you don't accept bitcoin you can't invest on it.

That is the problem that some people face not because they don't want to but because they can't due to the government's action by banning the use of cryptocurrency in their country and if someone is found using cryptocurrency then they will be sent to jail for violating their rules. The other situation is where the person doesn't believe in cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin because they believe it is a scam (due to less knowledge about it) therefore they say that Bitcoin is not for everyone. Honestly, I think some people are only saying that here in the forum is because they want to post something like that just to meet the total of posts that are required before they get paid.

No matter how someone accept bitcoin if someone is not financially literate, don't know how to store it in a safe place, don't know how the difference of custodial to non-custodial wallet, techinically bitcoin is not for everyone.

It doesn't end on just having it, protecting your bitcoin is your sole responsibility, if you can't do it, again, bitcoin is not for everyone.

[GeorgeJohn]

We can't generalised bitcoin for every body what I know about  bitcoin is that everybody can access or embrace bitcoin, you might dislike bitcoin because of your reasons while another person will like bitcoin because of it's reasons, so therefore I believe that bitcoin is meant to be to someone who embrace it, generally bitcoin was created and been introduced to everyone and its not do and die affairs that every person most use Bitcoin, its a personal choice and decisions of using bitcoin, their is some people in this forum who always campaign for lightning network and they prefer lightning network than bitcoin, so it's their choice to choose lightning network than bitcoin.

OP is right, Bitcoin can be used by anyone, that's how Bitcoin was created, to become decentralized and can be used by anyone in this world.
Before you can accept it and access it, it is also better to have a basic and proper understanding of what is Bitcoin, how it works, what is good effects of using Bitcoin, etc.

[Bazzu]

yes, bitcoin is for everyone and before investing in btc of course we have to first learn about btc what are the benefits and what are the disadvantages if we invest in btc,

but for people who live in a country where the government prohibits people from using bitcoin, of course it will be difficult for the people to invest in btc, and of course the best way is to comply with the regulations of the state and government.

[xSkylarx]

Acceptance is really part of it, but that alone is not helpful; you also need to have knowledge of it because if you just accept Bitcoin and its uses without proper knowledge, there is a possibility that you'll lose it, meaning you can't secure it, and if you plan on investing, you'll probably lose it. In every aspect of life, you'll really need acceptance, but prior to that, to make yourself acceptable, you'll still need to learn it.

Bitcoin was created by satoshi indeed for everyone, regardless of race, sect, or certain sects to be able to own/buy bitcoins. So in that way, bitcoin is absolutely neutral for anyone, for people who want it and for people who are interested in getting into the world of bitcoin investment. So basically satoshi creates bitcoin assets, for everyone.
But besides all that, there are rules in every country that apply to crypto digital currencies such as bitcoin, which must be obeyed by every community. Because it cannot be denied, that not all countries in the world allow digital currencies such as bitcoin to circulate and be owned by their people.

So in addition to all the freedom that satoshi gives about bitcoin for everyone. But still there are other rules that apply to everyone in their respective countries regarding bitcoin.

And the opinion that you express is not wrong, because to own or invest in bitcoin, you really need a sense of interest, desire and will result in a feeling of acceptance of the bitcoin. So your opinion, all of that is clear and indeed it must be done by anyone who wants to start investing or trading in bitcoin.

[Blitzboy]

Even though Im agreeing with some of what you're saying, there's also the need to underline the basics of why Bitcoin isnt for everyone. Yes, there are some people who arent tech smart and so dont grasp cryptography.

To put it another way, its like handing a skateboard to a fish: some people just wont get it, no matter how much we Bitcoin aficionados might desire for everyone to get a piece of that crypto pie. The government stuff, on the other hand, is a complete mess. There are different norms and customs in that realm. Accept Bitcoin, dont accept Bitcoin; in the end, it comes down to what you and your next-door neighbor's dog are comfortable with.

[kotajikikox]

Accept bitcoin before it can be yours.

not only accepting but also using , because it is indeed correct that accepting/purchasing means we will owned some , but that is not the main purpose , instead we must help circulating this.

from that bitcoin will have strong power , and will also serve us the way we wanted this.

People can decide something for their selfs whether good or bad, first of all we all have rights to do what so ever we want to do as long as it does not harm the next door neighbor but in my country the government has done what will harm the next door neighbor's.

it is our money so it is our decision and no one can interfere now hinder us .

wrong , it is not for everyone not unless they will embrace it , because bitcoin is an open funds that we can purchase anytime we wanted .

Bitcoin is for everybody, but we all have to accept it before it can be ours so I conclude that we must first accept bitcoin before we can have access to it and if you don't accept bitcoin you can't invest on it.

then you already answered your own opinion . don't just based in literal sentence instead understand the body and the form .

[rachael9385]

If anyone has decided to accept bitcoin he/ she also have interests to invest on it also, investing is easy for investors is just to have a basic information about it and then carry on with the investment plans, if anybody love some thing with all his hart nothing can stop the person from get it except death so if anybody love bitcoin that means he or she can do their own research about bitcoin then understand how it works and join the crypto world by their selfs.

[avikz]

Let's face the reality - Bitcoin is not for everyone! It requires a certain amount of technical or computing knowledge before anyone can begin using bitcoin. The world of centralized wallets and exchanges are built on this exact inconvenience. So Bitcoin is not for everyone in its rawest form. Regardless of whether people accept it or not.

Bitcoin needs a learning period before anyone can begin using it with ease. In my opinion, Bitcoin has become an investment asset more than a currency system and it's very inconvenient to use for the nubes.

[zaim7413]

Bitcoin holds something positive in it, for that reason the majority of people in parts of the world accept Bitcoin as an inseparable part of their lives. For me Bitcoin has become a necessity, Bitcoin has had a positive impact on my life. Since getting to know Bitcoin, I have received several benefits that I have never gotten in fiat money, ease of transactions in buying and selling goods and services and increasing the economy from the profits I get from investments.

People who deny the presence of Bitcoin in their lives are too naive in assessing Bitcoin, they know Bitcoin usually gives them unlimited profits, but they think Bitcoin is not in the same playing field as the stock market or institutional investment. Although some people are still closed to Bitcoin, it does not mean that Bitcoin will collapse, Bitcoin will still stand tall and will reach a market capitalization of trillions of dollars in the future.

Let's face the reality - Bitcoin is not for everyone! It requires a certain amount of technical or computing knowledge before anyone can begin using bitcoin.

It is an open gate for everyone to access. Technical or computing knowledge or whatsoever knowledge, if you want to learn to access it, you can do it like some people don't touch Internet, smartphone but it is not responsible of Internet or smartphone to access those people. It is hard or easy, accessible or inaccessible, depends on those people.

OP is right, Bitcoin can be used by anyone, that's how Bitcoin was created, to become decentralized and can be used by anyone in this world.
Before you can accept it and access it, it is also better to have a basic and proper understanding of what is Bitcoin, how it works, what is good effects of using Bitcoin, etc.

If they want, they can start to learn today and practice with Bitcoin testnet today by claiming Bitcoin testnet from Testnet faucets.

[aoluain]

as per avikz, I agree also the Bitcoin isnt for everyone.

The OP is taking the literal meaning of "Bitcoin is not for everyone" and disagreeing with
it and its right to say literally Bitcoin is there for everyone but the reality is not everyone has
the capabilities to buy and sell Bitcoin by either private of KYC means and secure it properly,
some people are technically challenged, some people would just prefer for someone else
to do the necessary for them much the same as buying Gold, they dont actually have custody
of the Gold, just a piece of paper to say they own it but someone else is storing it for them.

Thats where the saying "Bitcoin is not for everyone" is applied and means to reflect.

[worle1bm]

There are many countries where governments have not put complete ban on its usage but still do all the population use it? It's not about fear from the government only as there are many reasons like people who don't have access to internet and are not aware about it or say those who have been victims of some crypto scam fear to invest in it so there are lot of reasons.But yes Bitcoin is open to all but it depends on how you use it or is it available to all?

[Die_empty]

Bitcoin is for everybody, but we all have to accept it before it can be ours so I conclude that we must first accept bitcoin before we can have access to it and if you don't accept bitcoin you can't invest on it.

Bitcoin is not for everybody because it is not compulsory to use it as a form of payment. Before now trade by barter was the main medium of buying and selling of goods. Then it was compulsory because it was the only way you engage in trade. Fiat currency was introduced and barter became obsolete. Now everybody must use fiat to buy and sell. Until bitcoin becomes a generally acceptable currency, it is not compulsory to use it. And if it is not mandatory to use it, it is not for everybody. We don't know what the future holds, but the world may move to an era when fiat might become obsolete and the only option might be cryptocurrencies. At this time, Bitcoin will not still be for everybody because there are other cryptos. Bitcoin will be for everybody only if it is the only currency.

[taufik123]

I agree with your argument about "Bitcoin for everyone", but looking at the current reality is not about how Bitcoin functions fully, but what will actually be realized with Bitcoin.

Governments that are pro-Bitcoin might provide looser regulations on Bitcoin or crypto, but for governments that are completely against Bitcoin, there will be no room at all for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is for everyone, but Bitcoin cannot be used by everyone. Accepting Bitcoin adoption in the first place will not be easy.
Remember that every government's regulations are different, they need to research first by making adjustments to their economic area.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Bitcoin is not for everyone maybe that thought is based on their own opinions, but I totally diagree with it,

Bitcoin is borderless, this is an already established fact which i think every one agrees to, but i think you completely misunderstood those who said that Bitcoin is not for everyone, i am not one of those who said that bitcoin is not for everyone, but by understanding what they meant by that statement, i completely agree that Bitcoin is not for everyone..

Let me explain, I already mentioned before that Bitcoin is borderless, which means bitcoin is open to everybody all around the world , Now, when some people say that bitcoin is not for everyone, they do not mean Bitcoin in its acceptability or in its adoption, of course Bitcoin is open and available for anyone interested to adopt , But when it comes to investing in bitcoin, its not for everyone, those who are investing in bitcoin have to have the balls to buy and hold, else, that person will just chicken out due to how volatile the price of bitcoin is, such person can chicken out and sell too early out of fear, in the end, you discover that investing in bitcoin is not for such type of people, this is what i believe when i read people say that bitcoin is not for everyone.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

@OP, The idea of someone saying that Bitcoin is not for everybody may really be because of the bad perception that some people have about Bitcoin, but that statement doesn't necessarily mean or state that Bitcoin is not for everyone. Of course, it is for everyone, but specifically for those who understand the values of it, for those who realise how cool Bitcoin investment can be, and for those who want to be in charge of their financial control, because Satoshi's idea of creating Bitcoin was for the common man and woman to be able to have their own financial management under their control in a decentralised and digital way, so that those financial elites wouldn't really be in charge of how we spend our money all the time.

In the bank today, there's some kind of huge amount of withdrawal you will want to pull out of your account, and your account officer will call in to ask you what you really want to do with the money, but with one's money in Bitcoin, no one will have to quarry you for how much you are withdrawing or depositing. So, it's sometimes said that Bitcoin is not for everyone, but for those who realise all those quality features of Bitcoin.
